If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are​ known, the equation of a circle can be found.​ First, find

the midpoint of the​ diameter, which is the center of the circle. Then find the​ radius, which is the distance from the center to either endpoint of the diameter. Finally use the​ center-radius form to find the equation.

Answer:

The equation of the circle is (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question is

If the coordinates of the endpoints of a diameter of the circle are​ known, the equation of a circle can be found.​ First, find the midpoint of the​ diameter, which is the center of the circle. Then find the​ radius, which is the distance from the center to either endpoint of the diameter. Finally use the​ center-radius form to find the equation.

Find the center-radius  form of the circle having the points (1,4) and (-7,6) as the endpoints of a diameter.

Consider that, if both points are the endpoints of a diameter, the center of the circle is the point that is exactly in the middle of the two points (that is, the point whose distance to each point is equal). Given points (a,b) and (c,d), by using the distance formula, you can check that the middle point is the average of the coordinates. Hence, the center of the circle is given by

(\frac{1-7}{2}, \frac{4+6}{2}) = (-3,5).

We will find the radius. Recall that the radius of the circle is the distance from one point of the circle to the center. Recall that the distance between points (a,b) and (c,d) is given by \sqrt[]{(a-c)^2+(b-d)^2}. So, let us use (1,4) to calculate the radius.

r = \sqrt[]{(1-(-3))^2+(4-5)^2} = \sqrt[]{17}.

REcall that given a point (x_0,y_0). The equation of a circle centered at the point (x_0,y_0) is

(x-x_0)^2+(y-y_0)^2 = r^2

In our case, (x_0,y_0)=(-3,5) and r=\sqrt[]{17}. Then, the equation is

(x-(-3))^2+(y-5)^2 = (x+3)^2+(y-5)^2 = 17

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

The probability of a customer getting a leash for their dog along with a treat for their doctors is 1/2.09

Step-by-step explanation:

This is example of conditional probability.

Let A represents the % of customer getting a leash for their dogs

Let B represents the % customer getting a leash + treat for their dogs

As we know-

P(A|B)=P(A and B)/P(B)

So the probability is  

P(A|B)= 0.32/0.67 = 1/2.09

Explain why a balance of less than -$10 represents a debt greater than $10?
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

Because -$10 is basically nothing because it is negative you don't have ten dollar, but a debt of $10 means you have it which is why it is greater than -$10

Solve the following system:

You can rewrite the second equation because you know what y equals, so you can write it as 2x + x + 3 = 9
3x + 3 = 9
- 3
3x = 6
÷ 3
x = 2

And now you use the equation of what y equals and substitute in the value of x, so y = 2 + 3
y = 5

So your final answer is A. (2, 5). I hope this helps!
